ARTIFICIAL EYES.
Aa optician Tells Where They Are Made
and What They Are Worth.

Aa OptIcian Tells Where They Are Made
and What They Are Worth.
One-eyed people who can afford it
have two glass eyes, one for day, the
other for evening use. The reason for
this is that the pupil of the eye is
smaller in the day time than at night,
and hence the two glass eyes are of
different sizes, so as to correspond with
the natural eye. The price of glass
eyes is becoming cheaper on account
of competition, and at the same time
the quality is better. A common glass
eve may be had for ten dollars, bat
they are not good receptions and do
not last long. A irst-class eye costs
fifty dollars, or even more. The best
will not last over two years, because
the secretions in the hollow of the eye
roughen the glass by chemical action,
and this roughness irritates the flesh.
A glass eye, like false teeth, is taken
out at night, for it would not be safe
to 90 to sleep with it in the cavity. 1t
might drop out, and the slightest fall
would break it. If person could buy
glass eyes at wholesale, by the gross,
he could get them for about two dol
lars apiece. But he would have to look
over u great many before finding one to
fit and to match his other eye in
size, color and expression. Glass
eyes are all made abroad, principally
in Germany and France, no factory
having been started here. although
there is great demand for them in
this country. A glass eye is not made
after the shape of u natural eye, be-
cause when the latter is taken from the
cavity the tissues just back of it pushes
forward and leaves but little space.
The false eye is therefore elliptical in
shape. The outer side preserves the
natural form, but the inner side is near
flat, with rounded edges. 1t is slightly
larger that the natural eye, so that
when inserted in the cavity it nay not
| slip out. At first it initiates the eye
| lids and the tissues back of the cavity,
but the wearer grows accustomed to it,
and finds it rest and protection.
A skillful Oculst can put n glass into
the cavity SO that very close observa-
ton is necessary to detect it. Not only
are the size and color of the natural
eye counterfeited, but even the general
expression. The oculist has yet to dis
cover means Of giving that sympathetic
movement which distinguishes pair
of eyes. There is quite Il large number
of people with glass eyes, say one in
four hundred. You would not know ii
by casual observation, for the wearer
OF a glass eye is so sensitive on the SUI b.
ject that he is careful of its actions in
public, and he becomes so accustomed
to the glass orb that he can prevent al
but intimate friends from discovering
his defect. Science has done better by
him than by the man with the wooden
limb. St Louis Globe Democrat.

AN INDIAN SYBARlTE.
Life Of the King of oudh Amid the Sur

-rot-----------.e
The death of the last King of Oudh
deprives Calcutta of Il picturesque and
almost legendary parsonage. To the
visitor the red and blue roof of his pal
ace, the gardens, stocked with wild
beasts and brilliant birds, his innumer-
able guards and attendants and the
tens of thousands of pigeons that were
always wheeling above the grounds
seemed to embody the fantastic life of
native India. The men guarding the
doors were all his own sepOys from
Cawnpore, and once you had an order
to penetrate the charmed circle you
passed through beautiful succession
of groves and parterres and miniature
grassplots and pleasant terraces. His
menagerie fell away of late, but some
years back it almost rivaled the famous
collection in the London Zoo. In one
large space there were buffaloes, goats
and deer and ostriches and ether great
birds. A tank something like one hum
bred and fifty yards square was COW
cred with storks and pelicans and
swans, and had ample well-wooded
rambling grounds around it. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty
aviaries. The lions and tigers and
wolves and other ferocious animals
were, of course, Gagged, but Gagged very
comfortably.
In another garden q building that
looked like u magnificent ant hill was
fixed in the center of large square
well, and was carefully surrounded
with water. Here the snakes were
segregated, and five hundred of them
lived in the narrow holes with which
the strange building was artificialiy
honeycombed. 1t used to be one of the
great sights of the day to see them fed
with frogs. But his pigeons formed
the great featdre of the Kings col
lection.
"One who knew him" writes that he
led a kingly life to the end, though he
had not more than seven thousand sub
jeuts to govern: HE held court and
received regal honors, created titled
mobiles according to his caprice and
Travelled over his grounds in campan,
occupying at different times different
country seats, like other Kings" At
one time he would watch his animals
and his fishes being fed, at another his
rams and cocks. and quails, would be
brought up to fight before him. He
had, we are told, prevailing passion
for order and cleanliness He prayed
five times day, though he ate only
one meal, but from morning till night
he chewed pan Sopari and smoked the
hookah. - Times of India.

PAYING BY THE MILE.

A Magazine Editors Novel Bargain with
Young Contributor.
"How much do you pay for such a
story?' asked a young writer of we'll
known magazine editor in New York,
the other day.
Let me see your manuscript"
The young man produced his roll and
submitted it to the editor.
You write rather fine hand, and
therefore l will give you twenty-five
dollars for every quarter of mile of
writing that | accept"
TWENTY-FIVE dollars for quarter of
of mile?" repeated the would-be con-
tributor, aghast with surprise.
YES and that is very good rate for
an unknown writer like yourself We
pay all the way from 500 to 81, 900
mile for the work of the most noted
writers, and have paid a famous poet
at the rate of $40, 900 mile for great
poem which he wrote at my order.
That is an exceptionally high price,
though"
"How much would mile make of my
manuscript"
II should say about ten thousand
words"
"You don't mean to say that ten
thousand of my words if strung in a
row would make a mile?"
"Most assuredly not. But in writing
ten thousand words your pen moves
over mile of space. With some
writers mile is only composed of eight
thousand words, and there are some
microscopic writer's who crowd twenty
thousand words into mile. Those
figures will give you an idea of the
amount of territory the pen of busy
writer will cover in a year. Take
newspaper reporter, who writes on an
average ten thousand words week.
His pen will travel fiftv-two miles
year. A court stenographer, who
frequently takes down forty thousand
to sixty thousand words in day, and
transcribes part of his notes at night,
will cover not less than four hundred
miles year. Take Alexander Dumas,
the elder. who was one of the most
prolific writer's in the world. If he had
done all Of his own writing he would
have averaged five miles day during
his whole busy career. He often en-
ployed secretaries, however, though he
did large part of his work himself.
You see it would take long time for a
man to draw line around the world
with his pen. 1t could be done, though"

Sometime. dear heart, sometime know not

We may not sit together hand In hand,
And watch the sunset colors up the glen
Play hide and seek along the yellow sand:
We may not sit together, you and l,
And hear the mock-bird chant her evening
song,
"Ah me" and talk of days so long gone by,
And talk ''ah me" or friends all gone so long.
Sometime dear heart, sometime, l say not why,
We may not sit together you and l.
Sometime, dear heart, our roses in their glow
OF summer shine may catch the passing air,
And send their kisses (''ah we love them SOY
AS now to nestle in your sunset hair;
And one of us alone may then sit here,
And hear the distant church bells evening
swell.
And one of us may shed the bitter tear,
Which shall it be dear hearth l can not tell
Sometime, dear heart, sometime, I say not why,
We may not sit together, you and l.
Sometime in after years, the silent star
Which shimmers yonder in the quiet sky,
May shine as now it shines, and "ah," how far
May we then be apart, dear, You and II
And Ger our threshold here at even-time
Strange steps may come and go we know not Of;
We may listen TO the church bells chime.
And talk together of the trends we love;
